Ephesians 5 : 11-22
KJV


11 And have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those
things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made
manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith,
Awake thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly,
not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time,
because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise,
but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto
God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to
another in the fear of God.



Today's Prayer...


Lord God, our Father in heaven,

We turn to You in these times when
we are under so much stress and temptation.
Let Your light glow in our hearts to give us
firmness, patience, and perseverance throughout the
time of testing, no matter how long it lasts.
Your hand can change everything.
Your hand can shorten the time we must wait
until Your light shines out of the
darkness of death and evil,
until your light reveals your life to Your
children and to the whole world.
You are our God and Father as You have promised,
and remaining at Your side,
we look to You in faith and trust.
You will bring about goodness, justice, and mercy
as You have promised,
and so fulfill Your will."


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
